SATAN’S CIRCUS – Death In Vegas
Satan's Circus is such a fab album. I've always liked it but it's taken a while to realise just how much! I think it’s now one of my fave LP’S of the past 10 years.
TRAVELIN’ SOULS (LIVE! AT THE LEGENDARY 100 CLUB) – The Blow Monkeys
“It’s been a long tour”, says Dr Robert mid-song at one point on this come-back tour recording. It sounds like, too. His voice is clearly on the way out - it would probably have been better to have recorded one of the earlier dates! It works better watching it on the accompanying DVD than just listening to it I feel. I also played their old Forbidden Fruit 12” single which kinda bridged their more left field debut and their later white boy soul pop rather beautifully. With Mickey Finn on bongos to boot! Great single!
BAND OF JOY – Robert Plant
I bought this mainly cos I was curious to hear his take on two Low songs. Some of the album sounds a bit trite but the Low covers are great. Impressed.
